To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER W. Hsaimnanb, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahogaand .Eltate of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Receiving-Cabinets, of whicli the following is a-specification. a

My invention relates to a receiving cabi- 'net for milk and other liquids, all substantially as shown and described and particularly pointed out in the claim. In the accompanying'drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cabinet with the cover raised,-and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional elevation thereof.

The object of the invention is to rovide a'convement and effective cabinet orm of receptacle inwhich bottles of milk maybe laced on their delivery at a residence and m which the milk will be-kept from freezing in winter and from souring in summer when delivered cool, but of course the receptacle or cabinet is not necessarily limited to use for milk but will serve for keepin any other bottled liquid; To these ends provide "a cabinet A having walls on its four sides and bOttnIll supports 0 formed in this instance by extending the end boards down a suitabledistance to provide legs a or it may be built to hang upon a wall.

13 represents a hinged cover provided with a layer of suitable nonconductlng material 6 on its inside adapted to fit within a recess about the inside of the top of the cabinet and thus make a practically alr tightunclosure and exclude outsideair, hot or cold.'

' N ext within the wooden wall of the cabinet I provide a non-conducting lining D, which preferably consists of paratlined sheepswool andextends across the bottom and up the sides all around to the sald rccess 2, and said lining is prepared and applied in such way that it will hold its form and place, but may be substituted by any other equally good insulating material, and

is of such depth or thickness that milk delivered the cabinet in zero or lower temratures'can be kept for hours without reaming, or in summer can be equally well protected from excessive heat. Ialso show a division wall d of the same character as lining D and which in this instance dlvides the receptacle or-cabinetinto two bottle re- Specification of Letters Patent.

i i L l ceiving chambers or spaces and there may 66 be one or more of these chambers, say three or ipur, the idea being to afford a domestic cabinet for families using from a quart to agallon' of milk per day. The said chambersor spaces for .the bottles E being built up with walls of the wool in.such manner that they will stand and hold their form I can use a paraflincd jacket or tube C which fits within said chambered space forthe .hottle and is of a size otherwise to insert; the

bottle therein and leave room about itssidc so as to freely remove the bottle therefrom.

The said tube is 0 ion at both ends and'is fpreferably made 0 straw-board so as to be exible and cheap, and is parallined, like such change. The said tubes are erfiigaggd within their u per ends by the down anges 6 on the insi e sheetmetal lid or plate 7 in the top of the cabinet over the wool D and fitting removably therein about its edges. Tin or this purpose. Finally- I place a rather shal= low on 5 within the lower end of tube C adapte to receive an possible drippings oif'the bottle 'especialy and adapted to serve as a rest or receptacle for the bottle.

Said cup also is a separate part, which may be of glass or metal. y By means of a cabinet of this kind the milk is not only ke 't-cool in summer and warm in winter but'it is also protected from '90 cats and dogs which prowl about porches- 'and it may be locked to exclude thieves. F urtherfnore, such, a cabinet is highly desirable both on account of its sanitary characterand because it preserves the' milk and I keeps it both from freezing and souring by reason of prolon ed exposure to otherwise unfavorable conditions and such as are of common experience by reason of .milk bein delivered early in Tnost places and allowe to stand outside for an indefinite period. Hinges 1Q su port the cover from the front of the raised hack of the cabinet.

What I claim; is:

As a new article of manufacture and sale,

a milk cabinet havin a recess in its top and a cover provid with non-conducting material on its inside fitting 1n sa1d recess,

galvanized iron will do for 80 incombination with one or more tubes consisting of an absorbent material treated with parafhn and packed about the sides and hottom thereof with a parafiined fibrous materia-l, a removable dripcup at the bottom of each tube and a removable sheet metal plate seated in said recess in the top of the cabinet and having circular down flanges
